Under the health insurance program, eight hospitals in Kavrepalanchok have now started providing initial services.
After another basic hospital launched by Mandandepur Municipality started its service on Sunday, the number of hospitals providing this service in the district has reached eight. The hospital was affiliated with the Health Insurance Board in the last week of last Shrawan and received approval as a primary service center. The service was formally launched by Bagmati Province Health Minister Kiran Thapa.
At the program, Mayor Tok Bahadur Waiba said that the municipality has made necessary preparations to operate health insurance effectively and has formally started the service from Sunday. According to him, 65 percent of the citizens of the municipality have health insurance.
Earlier, Sunthan, Khopasi, Panchkhal and Dhulikhel Primary Health Centers and Banepa Municipal Hospital and Methinkot Provincial Hospital have been providing the service after receiving approval. Dhulikhel Municipality has started the service of its health center building from the premises of Dhulikhel Hospital since last Shrawan 26.
Earlier, the center was delaying the provision of health insurance first service point services, citing lack of physical infrastructure and manpower. The municipality has stated that a 'referral' service including doctors, nurses, and medicines has been started from the building of the Dhulikhel Hospital premises to make it easier for those who come to get insurance services at Dhulikhel Hospital.
From last Shrawan 1, the government had implemented the rule that government health institutions should be the first service point for health insurance. Of the four health institutions in the district listed as first service points since Mangsir 1, 2076 BS, only Methinkot Hospital, Praswake Sunthan, and Khopasi had been providing services before.
